About Arduino
Arduino is a microcontroller platform designed to teach electronics, control systems, and physical computing. It’s ideal for hands-on learning, enabling students to build circuits, write code, and interact with the physical world through lights, motors, sensors, and more.
Why Raspberry Pi & Arduino?
💸 Affordable & Accessible: Both platforms are budget-friendly, making them ideal for schools, homeschoolers, and educational programs.
🙌 Hands-On Learning: Students learn by building projects — robots, weather stations, smart devices, and more.
💻 Cross-Disciplinary Learning: These platforms are perfect for teaching coding, electronics, engineering, environmental science, and even art... all at once!
📚 Lots of Resources: The Raspberry Pi and Arduino communities offer many tutorials, lesson plans, and community forums make it easy for educators to get started.

Teaching the Builders of Tomorrow: STEM Curriculum Strategy for K-12 Education
The technological and economic changes our world is experiencing are profound, and are accelerating at a pace few could have imagined. The most pressing challenge for educators is that it has become difficult to predict exactly what today’s students should learn, or how they can be prepared for successful and fulfilling careers.
In Teaching the Builders of Tomorrow, we’ll explore how the definition of a professional career is evolving, how teaching STEM requires cultivating layered skills, and how curriculum design can be adjusted to support flexible, meaningful learning.
